Actually, It's Joel. I'm using the wife's Pc right now. Yes well I believe there is a sample of a XF86Config fore buried in my filesystem somewhere. I'll try to figure out the syntax for the fonts from there. When I exit X, I noticed a message about not being able to load the Speedo fonts and tha

Claudette if I get either the beers or the strippers, you will have made a friend for life. In fact just the suggestion of them makes you a friend automatically :) I must thank whoever mentioned the XFree86 -configure command, that starting point was the catalyst to getting X working - the rest wa

Corey, Where shall I send the case of beers and the strippers? I finally have my Xfree86 4.0.1 up and running, at 1280x1024x16bpp. Thank You ! Now, I understand that Xfree86 4.0.1 has built-in True Type support. So that means I can do away with the xfstt? What lines do I need to add to my XF86Co

Oh, and after doing that, copying the XF86Config.new file to /etc/X11 directory meant I could now run startx again, and resume to having X running with WindowMaker. Allbeit in a god awful resolution, so thats the next step. BTW, I *think* the ZAxisMapping for intelli-mice is now: Option "ZAxisMa

Ok, next step I can suggest is this: In the XF86Config.new file thats been created, under the InputDevice section change the Option "protocol" "auto" line to Option "protocol" "IMPS/2". This has got my PS/2 mouse working. More news as the hacking of config files happens :) Cheers, Corey J. Pop

Hi, I'm in the same boat. A routine apt-get dist-upgrade on my woody box upgraded X and now GDM doesn't work. Before I reinstall the old version of X, does anyone know how to fix it? I'm using the most recent version of GDM. Thanks. Casey
